I faintly 'hum' to myself without knowing it

I didn't realize this until I was in a friends dorm and she said that I make very faint humming noises to myself when I am silent. (she brought it up b/c she said she does it as well) I denied of course because I thought that was ridiculous, but ever since then I have noticed a few times that I do in fact do it.

I have tried searching on Google (what do you type in the search field for this?) to no avail.

So does anyone else do this, or know why I might do it? It doesn't bother me, just makes me curious.

BTW: It's not songs, just a very light monotone hum noise.

By faint, I mean very, very faint. And I only do it occasionally

I do that occasionally when I want to make people think I'm plotting to do something to them. It works better if you keep shifting your eyes back and forth and throw furtive glances at him/her. ;)

I hum, whistle, or sing quietly pretty much every waking moment that I'm not eating or talking out loud. My office mates are going deaf so they don't notice and it doesn't bother my wife. It drives my sister nuts.

I whistle if I'm walking too pass the time. I sing/hum when I'm drunk though, but I'd guess that's fairly common.

Update:
It's official. I do make low humming noises to myself. In my English class my roomate tells me I do it and I just did it while I was typing my paper and he was reading.

OMG I have a disease.

I whistle...not always "out loud," but it still drives my wife crazy.
She bitches at me fairly regularly about it, but since it happens without anyt conscious thought...
Once I get a dammed song stuck in my head on "repeat" it could be there for days...(that drives ME crazy sometimes)
:music: <whistle, whistle, whistle :music:

I distinctly remember in 5th grade, someone told me to shutup when I didn't think I was making any noise.

I haven't had this humming problem since.
